Overview

Clear targets for 2015 and a clear framework for monitoring and measuring progress are necessary to support one M&E system for the initiative, integrated into the national M&E system. The EMTCT initiative has 10 targets - 2 overall targets, 2 child health targets, and 6 targets related to the four prongs of PMTCT.
The two overall global targets are: reduce the number of new HIV infections among children by 90% by 2015; reduce the number of HIV-associated deaths to women during pregnancy, childbirth or puerperium by 50% by 2015.

This document outlines a common framework for tracking progress towards EMTCT as we move towards 2015, including explanation of the targets outlined in the Global Plan, essential M&E activities at the country level and plans for reporting. It is intended for policy-makers, programme managers, M&E officers, and staff of technical agencies and international partners involved in supporting EMTCT.
